PGP adds Mac and Linux support to Desktop 10.0

PGP has announced that the latest version of its PGP Desktop software will include versions for the Apple OS and Linux.

Apple’s OSX Snow Leopard and the Ubuntu and Red Hat Linux operating systems will now have versions of PGP’s encryption tool for the first time. The company said it was making the change due to the popularity of the systems.

"From our customer base, we’ve seen the use of Mac and Linux-based operating systems in the enterprise markedly increase in recent years," said Phillip Dunkelberger, president of PGP Corporation.
